Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)
The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a statewide faculty-driven system that identifies comparable lower-division courses across the California Community Colleges. It is separate from local course numbers assigned by individual colleges and is distinct from Common Course Numbering (CCN).
For example, the San José City College (SJCC) course ACCTG 020 is approved as comparable to the C-ID descriptor ACCTG 110. This means that ACCTG 020 is recognized as comparable to the C-ID descriptor ACCTG 110 and may be used to satisfy a corresponding major course requirement at another California Community College.
C-ID designations help students identify comparable courses when attending more than one community college. C-ID applies primarily to major courses and generally does not apply to General Education (GE) or to other local graduation requirements.
Because transfer requirements vary by university, students should consult ASSIST to confirm which courses are accepted for their intended major and transfer institution.
Course requirements may change over time, and courses may be added to or removed from the C-ID system. Accordingly, students should verify current information before relying on a C-ID designation for planning or transfer purposes.
The following list identifies San José City College courses with approved C-ID designations as of February 2026. For the most current information, refer to the C-ID website.
